[B]To add to my above post. I have taken some pictures of my plane to show the flaps, ailerons, and bomb bay.

Jeff,

All I can say is WOW!! You have taken the project to a complete new level. I am impressed to say the least. Those are some serious flaps and ailerons. The bombay would make an excellent spot for a camera, and it could even be protected when the doors are closed and the camera is not in use, take off, landing etc. It could be a lot of fun too for the balloon and egg drops too.

If you dont mind I probably will be in touch with you via email when I do get started on mine this fall. Basically, I believe I want to build your plane You have done everything that I had thought of and much much more. I will save this complete thread, as well as all the pics that folks have sent or posted and this will be my guide to building my"Ultimate" Senior. I will probably temporarily anchorfix the flaps, and leave the bombay inoperative until later on when I can upgrade to more channels. (Currently have a 4 ch.) But I do want to incorporate them in the build.

I do like the looks of the Senior as a tail dragger vs tri, and I will probably follow the advice I've recieved here from many and go that route, along with the oversize tires. It may also help a bit when there is a breeze as Tom mentioned. I'd imagine as light as the Senior is, with just a touch of throttle the rear is lifted anyway so I should be able to adapt to it.


You guys are great, I'm sure glad i found RCU forum.

PS,
I talked to a few of the guys at my local rc club fly field today and told them what I was planning on, some though it was a good idea, and volunteered their expertise and help, while others looked at me and kinda shook their heads as if to say this new guy is a little strange

To each their own I always say ...
